A Minka Lesk Novel

WHY READ THIS BOOK

The latest chapter in the saga of Minka Lesk after her battle in Le Roc aux Traittres shows us both the horror and the glory of the Cadian heritage in a violent galaxy.

THE STORY

The forces of Cadia continue the struggle in a desperate attempt to avenge the destruction of their home world and prove that even in the wake of this catastrophic loss, they remain paragons of Astra Militarum.

When Minka Lesk and the 101st Cadian discover a relic of the 8th Cadian, thought to have been lost in the defense of the planet, they see an opportunity to rectify a past affront, and follow the trail to Telken's Rest, a world at the heart of the decaying domain of Chaos warlord Drakul-zar.

But the Imperium is not the only power to set its sights on Telken's Rest, and Minka soon discovers that dark secrets lurk amid the icy expanses of hab-blocks and manufactoria. As the past comes back to haunt them, the soldiers of the 101st Cadien face a choice: stand up to do what must be done, or let themselves be deceived by the specter of what they've lost?
